Tulip Festival

Last Friday we went to the Tulip Festival!

It was so nice to get out and enjoy the world coming to life for Spring!

Maybe Curt will be the next Larry Sagers, (He is the master gardener for Temple Square and The Thanksgiving Point Gardens where the Tulip Festival was!)

I love Tulips!


This time when we went to the butterfly garden we noticed why it was called that. Can you tell it's shaped like a butterfly?

We went up high to try to get a better view. It's still not the best but you can sort of see the butterfly shape!

So many fun varieties! I thought these little Daffodils were way cute!


Missy also enjoyed the flowers and the rest of the pictures are some of the many she took while we were there!

So beautiful and peaceful!

We had a great time!

Maybe Larry will come work on my yard;)

I don't have pictures of this, but Ry had his first experience in politics when he went as a county delegate to the Utah County Convention last Saturday. He had a good time, learned a lot, and was excited to see and hear from people who want to help save, build, and support our Constitution. One man talked about the North American Union and showed what is being planned and voiced that we cannot let it happen. He came home excited and shared the notes he took and the people he voted for and the people he would vote for if he were a state delegate! (Well maybe next time;) It's so great to hear that there are many out there who want more than just the "Lesser of Evils" and are working hard to make it happen. We have so much Hope for America!

Just a Thought:
"All I can tell the 'lesser of two evils' folks is that if they keep voting for evil, they'll keep getting evil. If you don't like the way things are, how do you change it by voting for more of the same? Not voting your conscience is a wasted vote. If you are in prison and there is a 50 percent chance you would get lethal injection, 45 percent chance you would get the electric chair, and five
percent chance you could escape, would you vote for lethal injection because that is the one you are most likely to get?"~Michael Badnarik~

What a delightful post!! Thank you for sharing...the flowers AND the people are so beautiful. Missy is such a cutie, and such a good photographer! Flowers are such a simple, but amazing manifestation of our creators love for his children. Isn't it awesome that He took the time to make them so intricately beautiful and sweet smelling and colorful. And gave us the senses of sight and smell to enjoy them! What a wonderful world!! I love you all. Mom and Grandma O.
